In Loving Memory Of
Barbara Louise Marks
March 20, 1939—December 11, 2021
Life & Legacy
Our beautiful mother, grandmother, and friend joined her eternal love Clyde Marks. Surrounded by her children, family and friends, she passed away from a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She is preceded in death by her husband Clyde, her parents, two siblings, granddaughter Amanda Laray George, and Great Grandson Liam Duncan Shields.
She is the second of three children born to Clifford and Gertrude Spence in San Diego, California where she married and began her family. They soon came to settle in Magna Ut, where her home became the best place in the neighborhood to go for homemade french fries, cookies, and English toffee. You never left her home without a treat or a treasure.
Her three children, Leo Dean George, Rebecca “Becky” (Roger) Green, and Randy Kay George, were the sparkle in her eyes. Her 12 grandchildren, Angaleen, Amanda, Jeffrey, Shawn, Leo “Zece” Arley, Luke, Katie, Kyle, Brandy, Jason, and Jeremy, were the light of her life. And her 28 great grandchildren had her dancing on the moon.
She had the most talented green thumb, her specialties were beautiful flowers, vegetables and fruit trees. Building ponds for her coy fish brought her an inner peace that she shared with everyone.
She retired from IMAC after 20+ yrs of service and soon moved to Idaho where she met and married Clyde in the LDS Temple. After his passing she returned to Utah and settled in Tooele and lived out the rest of her days with her family who loved her dearly.
A viewing will be held December 17, 2021 from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM with funeral following at 11:00 AM at LDS Chapel, 415 W Apple St., Grantsville, Utah. Interment will follow at the Grantsville Cemetery.

Barbara was my neighbor. I loved our "over the fence" chats. I miss seeing her in her backyard when I look out my kitchen window. She was so sweet to my granddaughter and let her pick tomatoes and peaches all summer. She brightened my home with her beautiful flowers and she inspired me to start my own garden. I will miss her so much. I feel lucky and blessed that she came in to my life and I got to know her and love her.

Sadden to here this, she was very kind. That's sweet to mention her homemade french fries, I introduced her to the ones at The Fountain Restaurant, and she loved them.
